My wife and I went to the "Studio" recently to enjoy a quite night out for dinner. Although the food was exceptional, a waiter and a waitress were extremely rude. I have been eating at the "Studio" since they opened and they have excellent waiters...More

A beautiful restaurant with a perfect view of the ocean. Our meal was good but nothing exceptional, we are used to great food being from New Orleans. We had one glass of wine and two cocktails with our meal and felt like $400.00 for two...More

Magnificent! The vista from your table is breathtaking, especially sunset over the Pacific. The service at the restaurant is impeccable... attentive, courteous, helpful. For instance, I'd inquired about a single malt scotch I happen to like quite a bit that didn't appear on the beverage...More

My wife and I were fortunate enough to spend our 15th anniversary dinner at Studio a few weeks back. We are not wealthy people so this was a very big splurge for us, and it was worth the high cost.
We started our evening at...More

A very special celebration of my partners 60 the anniversary and our 5th anniversary was made exponentially better by this maniacal place. Our 7:30 reservation and request for an outside table gave a front row seat for a gorgeous sunset and the great people watching...More

With a panoramic oceanfront location and modern french cuisine with California influences, Studio is the portrait of beachside indulgence a refined and inventive menu reflects masterful attention to detail accented with an elegant, creative touch.

Set on an oceanfront bluff in the artistic village of Laguna Beach, Studio is designed to captivate the senses. Ocean breezes, panoramic views and lush landscapes create a refreshing sense of place at the water's edge and a fitting backdrop for the shared enjoyment of fine food and wine.
